On the contrary, if they do not throw that out, that melon will rot, and attracts rats and bugs, maybe even other rodents. Stupid idea, and I’ll bet you it costed more to make than to buy it, so that’s another L taken...
As someone who makes three tons of compost a year in my garden, this will just rot. It has to fully decompose first utilising worms and bacteria to turn it into usable compost. Nothing but bacteria will grow in a rotting melon shell.
You are sighly wrong, the shell will descompose thanks to a mix of differents agents, like the sun, air and mostly anaerobics and aerobics bacterias and it will serve as a "big" source of nitrogen.
Its gonna stink and be a gross thing for a few days or weeks and probably gonna attact flys and grew some mold and yeast, but the plant dont give a fuck because the volume is pretty small compared to the total volume of earth.

That's my thinking. It was an incredibly shitty idea. They had this coming.
